Chapter 171 The restaurant in the East City
Li Rizhi was not very interested in the restaurant run by the Hu people and the dancer twisting, because he had trouble now. If everything went smoothly in Chang'an, then go and see if he twisted, of course he would be willing, but now it is not an investment banking paper, so I don't know how to invest!
Li Rizhi sighed, rode his horse, followed everyone, thinking about things while walking, Cheng Zizai followed and said, "Senior brother, do you want me to inquire in the capital these days and find that kind of... Well, what do you think, the kind of person who knows how to protect himself?"
Cheng Zizai and Li Rizhi were both people of this era. They didn’t know the future development direction of the Tang Dynasty. They were not gods and didn’t know how to predict it. So no one knew what would happen to Empress Wu in the future. Now they just felt that why they had to fight against the Queen? This was unnecessary!
Because they are not court officials and have no conflict of interest with Empress Wu, and from their perspective, they are just scholars who have just arrived in Chang'an and have an uncertain future, and they do not belong to any force in the court. So at this point in time, on this position, they can only have this idea!
"We are helpless in Chang'an, so if we want to have some future, we cannot offend people first. It's okay to offend anyone. It's better to ask clearly first and then talk!" Li Rizhi nodded and agreed to Cheng Zizai's idea. He should stop taking sides. Of course, they are not qualified to take sides, but at least they cannot follow the trend aimlessly. aiyoushen
While speaking, I had already arrived in Dongshi. There are two cities in Chang'an City, which are places that specialize in buying and selling goods. This is how the word "buying" comes from. There are many luxury stores in Dongshi, while the West is mainly for ordinary people's supplies. If you want to enter a big store and spend money on money, the best choice is to come to Dongshi.
Fu Guibao walked at the front of the team. After entering the gate of Dongshi, he saw that the big market was full of people, with shops around him. He was dizzy and didn't know which restaurant was run by Hu people. He always thought that the restaurant was just a place to eat. If a Hu dancer twisted it, at most, they would go to the table to dance or something when they were eating!
As a result, as soon as he entered the city, he saw a large restaurant, which was more grand than the governor's mansion in Zhengzhou, and it was definitely tall and large enough. The restaurant had several floors, each floor had balcony railings, and the huge balcony itself was a large stage with dancers dancing and band playing, which was the case on each floor.
Fu Guibao instantly felt that he was very small and began to wonder whether he was a rich man or not, whether the money he brought was enough to spend in such a luxurious restaurant. But don’t take enough money to pay after eating, drinking and having fun.
The scholars were stunned and Quan Shu Fang said in shock: "It turns out that this is the East City, this is the East City that is famous all over the world! Luxury and luxurious, it can only be described as horrifying!"
Suddenly, a scholar shouted, "What is the one in that cage?"
Everyone looked at the place where he pointed, and saw a large group of people surrounding the street, and there were several large iron cages in the center of the crowd, with beasts locked in them, all of which were beasts they had never seen before!
All the way to the outside of the crowd, looking at the beasts, suddenly, he pointed to an iron cage and pointed at a huge beast with yellow hair and black stripes in the cage, and shouted: "Is this a tiger? This is a tiger, this must be a tiger!"
The scholars surrounded him and looked at the beast and shouted: "This must be a tiger. Look at the pattern on its head, it looks like the word "king", this must be a tiger!"
Some Chang'an people around him turned their heads and looked down on these shocked rural buns. They couldn't help but say a lesson: "Of course this is a tiger. If this is not a tiger, can it still be a rabbit?"
But the scholars didn't care at all and were still marveling: "I just said this is a tiger. I've seen the tiger's paintings, exactly the same as this one!"
"So a tiger is so big, but it's still not as big as a horse!"
"Is this a male tiger or a female tiger? How much meat can it eat in one meal?"
"The one next to me is a bear, it's a bear, it must be a bear. This is a tiger and a bear, is it juggling?"
The scholars are all people who usually study at home and have never seen real beasts such as tigers or bears. At most, they have seen them in pictures. Now they suddenly see them, and they are inevitably excited.
Li Rizhi rode on the horse and could see clearly. He frowned and said, "Although such a fierce beast is in an iron cage, it is a bit dangerous to put it on the street like this."
He didn't speak loudly, but because he didn't follow the scholars to make a fuss, he acted calmly, and there was Cheng Zizai to accompany him, which made people naturally feel that he was a noble young man, so someone came to talk to him.
A middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth leaned over and smiled, looking up at Li Ri and knew: "It's the first time that young master has come to Dongshi? It's not dangerous to put those tigers and black bears here, because they are dishes and are placed there to attract customers. That's a sign. As long as there are distinguished guests here and want to eat tigers, then slaughter the tigers. If you want to eat black bears, then slaughter the black bears. The bear paws are delicious..."
Li Rizhi glanced at the middle-aged man and knew that he must be a guest. He waved his hand and said, "I can't afford to eat it. I have never heard of this kind of dish. Just look at it, just look at it!"
Seeing that he refused so quickly, the middle-aged man had to hum in disappointment and thought: "This man was dressed smoothly, but he was not a real rich man!"
At this moment, Fu Guibao shouted: "Brother, this black bear only has 200 stakes, only 200 stakes. Sell it. We can only eat one of the four bear paws. There is still enough meat and bear skin!"
Li Ri knew: "Is it still a little less than two hundred stalks? Let's go and roast the whole lamb. Let's forget about this roast bear!"
Fu Guibao was reluctant to leave, and said, "Brother, look, the black bear's eyes are full of expectations. He is hoping that we can eat it and pass it over as soon as possible!"
"It's looking forward to escorting you!" Li Rizhi said, waved his hand and told them not to watch the fun here for too long. It would be better to find a place to eat as soon as possible and then find a place to live.
Everyone walked forward again. There were too many merchants in the East City. Before we could go far, we saw a restaurant with strong winds. The guests at the door were all Hu people. I guess this must be a restaurant run by Hu people. It is not clear whether it is the biggest one. But from the outside, it is luxurious enough, and there is also a stage with a large balcony.
Li Rizhi pointed to the restaurant and said, "Let's just this one, fill your stomach first!"
Fu Guibao immediately shouted at the guy at the door: "Do you have roasted whole lamb in your store?"
"Yes, the best dish in our store is roasted whole lamb!" The Hu man shouted, his words were straight and he had no taste at all.
Fu Guibao said again: "Is there a little girl who can dance? The kind that wants to expose her navel!"
"Yes, not only can you expose your navel, but you can also show your thighs and feet. It looks so beautiful!" the guy shouted.
The scholars hurriedly said, "Why do you want to shout so loudly? Be reserved, be reserved. We are all people who have read the books of sages!"
Fu Guibao smiled and said, "Then it's here!"
Everyone dismounted and entered the restaurant.
Fu Guibao looked back at Chen Yingying, who looked unhappy, and smiled and said, "It's a rare thing to look at Hu's little girl. Yingying, you can also see it!"
Chen Yingying spat and said to the Hu guy, "Do you have any Hu guys who can twist here?"
"Hu people's little man?" Hu people's guy was stunned. The guests who came here to eat, drink and have fun always wanted to see the little lady. No one had ever wanted to see the little man. He had to bite the bullet and said, "Then, do you think I'll be the one who is there?"
"Bah!" Chen Yingying spat again and entered the restaurant.
Li Rizhi also entered the restaurant and arrived at the second floor. He sat down, thinking about the investment banking business in his heart. He couldn't help but take out a small pocket of letters from his arms, opened the small pocket, and looked through the various recommendation letters he received along the way, sighing while reading.
At the same time, the Ministry of Justice.
Outside the gate, a middle-aged scholar in his forties came in. After the scholar entered the gate, a minor official immediately stepped forward and nodded and said, "Mr. Zheng, why are you free to come here?"
The essay said, "Someone reported to me that Deng O was caught. Where was he?"
This scholar was Zheng Changshe, and his youngest son was killed by Deng Wei, so he offered a heavy bounty to arrest Deng Wei. Today someone went to report to him that Deng Wei was arrested and had been escorted to the Ministry of Justice. He immediately came to see him and hated Deng Wei to the core, and he would never give up easily. There was no such thing as mercy.
Zheng Changshe did not have an official position in the court, but he had a good grandfather who not only left him a lot of land, but also left behind his connections to Manchang'an. For example, Yan Liben was his grandfather's disciple, and Yan Liben was the previous minister of the Ministry of Justice and is now the Minister of Works. In addition to Yan Liben, Zheng Changdu also has many friends, all of whom are high-ranking people.
After hearing this, the minor official from the Ministry of Justice said, "That Deng Ou and the dozen prisoners who were taken with him were all locked up in the prison. Deng Ou was locked up alone and was locked up in the death jail."
Zheng Changshe said: "Take me there quickly. I want to see what this Deng Yu looks like, and he is so cruel!"
The minor official did not dare to neglect and took Zheng Changjian to visit the prison. Deng Ou was just escorted to Beijing today, and there was no document to say that he was not allowed to visit the prison. So at this time, Zheng Changshe could still go and see it. Of course, this is a loophole. It would not be impossible for Zheng Changshe to kill Deng Ou at this time!
After a while, Zheng Changshe came out of the prison. He said to the minor official: "This Deng Wei, even if he cut him into pieces, he can still eliminate my hatred. What can you do to make him worse than death? You can't even commit suicide. You can only suffer endless torture every day?"
The little official was immediately happy. The rich man Zheng was going to give them money. Torturing a death row prisoner was too easy for the prisoner and the prisoner. He had countless methods and was useless!
The little official said: "I understand Mr. Zheng's meaning, and I will definitely be as Mr. Zheng wishes."
Zheng Changshe nodded and said, "I'm going out in a hurry today. I'll ask the butler to come and give you some wine money tomorrow. I hope I won't refuse!"
After he explained Deng Wei's affairs, he was led by the minor official to find the official who was handling the procedures. He wanted to ask who caught Deng Wei, and he must thank him very well.
When the Yuanwailang met Zheng Changshe, he was the one who had to give face. He said, "Mr. Zheng, the person who caught Deng Ou was several scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam. They were from Xingyang. The leader was named Li Rizhi. I heard that he helped the Chu County Magistrate solve the case in Huayin. He was a very capable young man."
Zheng Changshe said, "Li Rizhi, how do you write these words? Where is he staying now?"
The official was unable to answer, but the little official next to him said, "It seems that they have not found a place to stay. However, when the young man heard about it at the door, he seemed to have gone to Dongshi and wanted to find a restaurant with Hu people to see. Judging from the time, they have been there for a long time, but the young man doesn't know which store they have gone to!"
Zheng Changshe said: "This person is kind to my Zheng family, so I should thank him in person. So I will go to Dongshi to find him!" This chapter was first released.
